My song for you this week is called Remember the Moon.
It was a cold winter’s night and my mom and I were walking home from the highway up to our mountain homestead. I was about 8 years old.
Sometimes in the winter we had to walk the 2 miles home, once the car could no longer make it up the road from too much snow. We had snowmobiles, but even these were unreliable and would break down. Sometimes we just had to depend on our legs to get us home!
It was a beautiful full moon night with just my mom and me. When we reached the spot where crown land turned to our property, there was a little turnaround and a tall hemlock tree. We stood there and looked at the moon, our breath showing in the frosty air.
In that moment my mom said to me: “let’s always remember this moment.” It was magical. This song, Remember The Moon, tells the story.
I hope you enjoy it!
Love and another song soon,
Zoey
Here are the words:
Footsteps fell on the road to home
Fairies danced on frozen drifts of snow
Crystal wings and twinkling eyes
Led our journey that magic night
Remember the moon – take a step
Remember the moon – catch your breath
I am here with you
Moon was full and would not forget
You my strolling shadow silhouette
Little hand in knitted glove
Holding fast to your innocence
Remember the moon – take a step
Remember the moon – catch your breath
I am here with you
Now you’ve grown, time’s moved on
Paths rejoin at night like flashlights shone
See the sky and you will smile
Silent silver, she spreads for miles
And when you see the moon – I am here with you
And when the snow falls clear and true I am here with you
And when the darkness looms I am here.
Remember the moon – take a step
Remember the moon – catch your breath
I am here with you
Remember the moon
Remember the moon
Remember the moon
